    Hey Bro,

    NICE truck!! That's BadAss!! I have one suggestion that i just did to my truck and it made what i think is a huge difference considering how minimal,cheap and easy the mod is. (No pics sorry)

    Paint the pinch weld under the cab black. i actually had black undercoating sprayed on to that pinch weld and it just dissapears into the frame. It will make it look like it sits higher off the ground. BIG difference. Just a suggestion.

    Painted the pinch welds today. Made a big difference IMO.

    How is the ride with the 5100/885 combo? I was thinking about this route with my ride. I'm guessing just a little more firm than stock? Where did you buy your suspension? Did you just buy it a la carte or was it a kit somewhere?

    The ride is good, a little firm but I like it. I got the Bilstein 5100 shocks thru Sonny at Downsouth Motorsports. He's a supporting vender here but has the best prices on these shocks. I got the 885 coils thru ToyTecLifts.com

    call me crazy, but I actually like the way the pinch welds look before painting. To me it makes it look more aggressive. I dont know why, it just looks like there is mre truck, which also means more taco to love!

    I totally agree. Maybe when I get sliders I will do that too.

    Dude, your truck is very nice and I'm loving your build. Seeing the weatherTech liners reminds me how I so need them. I was hoping to eventually get black carpet inside as well. Loving the rear set-up for the stereo. I definitely got some additional ideas, especially the D-ring's thing and the cut out for the bed mat. Great Job!!!

    Thanks for the compliments!

    I love the Weathertech liners. I had the OEM All-Weather mats but they lasted less than a year. I would def get the Weathtechs.

    Incredible Toyota. I am pretty excited about my future purchase of a silver Toyota TRD.
    Thanks for so many ideas. Great job.

    I really like everything you did with your truck. Looks like a lot of customization went into it. HOw much did it cost to be the custom setup behind the seats?
